Seaports are crucial for regional development as they offer an employment to adjacent societies through industrialisation and value-added services. Since Asia has become a manufacturing hub the world economy with large volume of exports imports, this paper investigates trading pattern container line services three major ports in Asia: that is, Shanghai, Singapore Busan. Ports compete co-operate...

Process synthesis and design of plant operation are related topics but current industrial practice solves these problems sequentially. The implication of this sequential strategy may result in design of processing systems which are very hard to control. This paper presents a discussion on drivers for an integrated approach and outlines the challenges in formulation of such a multi-objective syn...

In this article, a fuzzy rule based model is developed for the operation of a single purpose reservoir. The model operates on an ‘if – then’ principle, where the ‘if’ is a vector of fuzzy premises and the ‘then’ is a vector of fuzzy consequences. The steps involved in the development of the model include, construction of membership functions for the inflow, storage, demand and the release, form...

The sub-threshold R-MOSFET resistor structure which enables tuning range extension below the threshold voltage in the MOSFET with moderate to weak inversion operation is analyzed in detail. The principal operation of the sub-threshold resistor is briefly described. The analysis of its characteristic based on approximations of a general MOS equation valid for all regions is given along with disc...

This paper reveals some relations between fuzzy logic and quantum on partial residuated implications (PRIs) induced by t-norms as well proposes monoids (PRMs) lattices (PRLs) defining adjoint pairs. First of all, we introduce the connection lattice effect algebra according to concept given Borzooei, together with proof that operation in any commutative quasiresiduated is t-norm. Then, offer gen...

abstract regarding temporal variation of rivers discharge and demands, for suitable use of dam reservoirs stored water, application of operation rule curves is necessary. operation rules are expressed with rule curves. application of yield model is one of the methods of operation curve preparation, which correlates reservoir operation with reservoir storage volume in first period. in this study...

as a generalization of the triple i method, the universal triple imethod is investigated from the viewpoints of both fuzzy reasoningand fuzzy controller. the universal triple i principle is putforward, which improves the previous triple i principle. then,unified form of universal triple i method is established based onthe (0,1)-implication or r-implication. moreover, the reversibilityproperty o...

Abstract Recent research on algebraic models of quasi-Nelson logic has brought new attention to a number classes algebras which result from enriching (subreducts of) Heyting with special modal operator, known in the literature as nucleus . Among these various structures, for we employ umbrella term intuitionistic , some have been studied since at least 1970s, usually within framework topology a...

Pleomorphic carcinoma of the breast is a rare variant of invasive breast carcinoma. Here, we report a case in a 45-year-old woman presenting a lesion composed microscopically of predominantly pleomorphic giant cells, squamous metaplastic component and focal conventional ductal carcinoma. Immunohistochemical assay showed different immunologic manifestation in respective malignant components. Des...
